What is a learning disorder?

A learning disorder is an information-processing problem that prevents a person from learning a skill and using it effectively. Learning disorders generally affect people of average or above average intelligence. As a result, the disorder appears as a gap between expected skills, based on age and intelligence, and academic performance.

Symptoms or sigs of Dyslexia and how its diagnose: Signs of dyslexia usually become apparent when a child starts school and begins to focus more on learning how to read and write.

A person with dyslexia may:

• Read and write very slowly
• Confuse the order of letters in words
• Put letters the wrong way round (such as writing "b" instead "d")
• Have poor or inconsistent spelling
• Understand information when told verbally, but have difficulty with information
• Find it hard to carry out a sequence of directions
• Struggle with planning and organization
• But people with dyslexia often have good skills in other areas, such as creative thinking and problem solving.

Symptoms or sigs of Dysgraphia and how its diagnose:

Kids with dysgraphia have unclear, irregular, or inconsistent handwriting, often with different slants, shapes, upper- and lower-case letters, and cursive and print styles. They also tend to write or copy things slowly.

Some of these sing are:

•  Cramped grip, which may lead to a sore hand
•  Difficulty spacing things out on paper or within margins (poor spatial planning)
•  Frequent erasing
•  Inconsistency in letter and word spacing
•  Poor spelling, including unfinished words or missing words or letters
•  Unusual wrist, body, or paper position while writing. 

Symptoms or sigs of Dyscalculia and how its diagnose:

Kids with dyscalculia may lose track when counting. They may count on their fingers long after kids the same age have stopped doing it. They may find it hard to know at a glance how many things are in a group -- a skill called "subitizing" that helps you see a 5 and a 3 after you roll the dice, without really counting.

School-aged kids with dyscalculia may find it hard to:

•  Estimate things, like how long something takes or the ceiling height
•  Understand math word problems
•  Learn basic math, like addition, subtraction, and multiplication
•  Link a number (1) to its corresponding word (one)
•  Understand fractions
•  Understand graphs and charts (visual-spatial concepts)
•  Count money or make change
•  Remember phone numbers or ZIP codes
•  Tell time or read clocks
